Audrey and I were close friends when I lived in Blooomfield. She was such good company and had so many varied interests, that she was a pleasure to be with.
She is in my prayers,as are her family.

To Sr. Audrey's family and to the Sisters of Charity:
I am an Associate of the Sisters of Charity and volunteered ar Harvey Cedars for many years- some while Sr. Audrey was in charge. I liked her from the first time I met her. I was just at Convent a month ago and spoke with her. I did not realize that she was that sick. I am in Florida right now and feel bad that I can't pay my respects. I will remember her in my prayers.
